Social Housing Market Intelligence Databases
|
|
Our range of Social Housing Market Intelligence Databases provide you with
the latest information on the social housing sector
across the UK. The level of detail contained
within these databases means that they can be used
equally for sales, marketing, forecasting and strategic
business planning purposes.
|

We
have three Database packages and a number of additional
Databases and tools available which cover the Social
Housing, Education and Private Housebuilding sectors. Below is a brief overview of each
package: for more comprehensive information please

how Focal Research can benefit your company, please

databases will be the most appropriate for you.

This covers the refurbishment, maintenance and development programmes
of all social landlords. Extensive details are
provided for Local Authorities, ALMOs and Housing
Associations including housing stock, progress towards
the Decent Homes Standard and important details on the
Local Authority Self-Financing System. The database also

Main Social Housing
Plus
Market Intelligence Database
This more comprehensive version of the Main Social Housing
Database provides additional information for those
clients who need to know more about landlord
performance and vacant housing (voids) stock.
The database allows you to evaluate the performance
of Local Authorities (LAs), Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) and Housing Associations (HAs)
based upon maintenance, repairs and management
expenditure, vacant stock information and Regulatory
Judgements (HAs only).

database. It provides the necessary contacts and
housing stock information for LAs, ALMOs and HAs. It also
covers key, top-level details on the Local Authority
Self-Financing System and
provides summary information on the 2011/12 - 2014/15 Affordable Housing Programme.

Housing Builder/Contractors Market Intelligence Database
This provides information on Builder/Contractors who regularly
carry out refurbishment, maintenance and new build work
in the social housing sector. Further information
on specific contract leads and partnering arrangements
with social housing landlords can be sorted either
according to the type of contract or the
contractor actually carrying out the works.

Contractor/Contract Analysis Tool
Our new Contractor/Contract Analysis Tool enables you
to complete a detailed analysis of the Contractors and
Contracts let within the Social Housing sector in
England, carrying out a review of the overall sector, an
individual contractor’s workload or on contract renewal
dates. The Tool allows clients to quickly and easily
assess the key organisations operating in the sector and
identify opportunities in the Planned Maintenance,
Responsive Maintenance, Decent Homes and Gas Servicing fields. |

Social Housing
Strategy Tool
This very simple push button tool is unlike any of the
other databases we produce for the Social Housing
sector. Offering a top-level strategic overview, it
facilitates a detailed analysis of your current, planned
and future regions which will assist in the effective
planning of resources for both sales and marketing
activities.
|
|
All
of the Databases we produce can be used for Strategic
Business Planning at board level encompassing Sales,
Marketing and Business Development. In addition they all share the following
features:
-
Comprehensive, relevant and accurate data that is
researched and constantly updated by ourselves to
ensure the information our clients see is as current
as possible.
-
The ability to be tailored to suit your individual company
requirements. For example, reports and maps can be viewed
via your own sales regions and you can add further
contacts if required.
-
Fully automated with ‘locked in’ reports that can be
pulled off at the touch of a button, enabling even
those with the most basic computer skills to use it
effectively.
-
Installation on as many machines within your
organisation as you wish. Individuals will
need to sign up to our annual User Agreement,
gaining access to a Getting Started pack,
a unique user name and password and our Support/Helpdesk.
-
As long as each computer running the database has
Windows 2000 or more recent versions installed, no
other licenses or additional software will be
required.
-
9am – 5pm weekday support/helpdesk
(excluding holiday periods) providing assistance
with database contents, understanding of
terminology, IT/technical queries and use of mailing
lists.
